What to know

After a bye last week, the Cowboys enter Week 11 with a revamped defense having acquired Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson at the trade deadline. Dallas has struggled against both the run and the pass this season, and has allowed over 30 points per game. The additions of Williams, a disruptive player with 40 career sacks, and Wilson, a six-year vet, could immediately make an impact.

On the flip side, Dallas ranks fourth in both total offense and scoring fueled by an explosive air attack from Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. The Raiders defense, however, limited the Broncos to 220 yards, forced two turnovers and posted three-and-outs on the Broncos' first four possessions in the Thursday Night Football loss. If Las Vegas can replicate that effort, they'll give their struggling offense a chance to exploit Dallas' defensive woes.
